Cue the trite "Model S is not a Large Luxury car" tripe from Tesla!

After all they always tried to convey that the Model S is simply a "premium electric sedan".

Over here in Germany it was never seen as anything else but a large luxury car by the way. I remember when I stressed that here on the forum several times there was usually a backlash from fanboys reminding me that the Model S is "not a luxury car". How things can change...

Nothing has changed.

Tesla has not insisted its not a luxury car that is some owners/fans.

Those that insist Tesla is not a luxury car but a "premium high performance economy car" still do.

I think that is silly and always have.

When you have the best you don't need to bang people over the head with the word "luxury" ad infinitum.

If you charge a luxury level price consumers will compare and contrast with luxury cars in its price class.

No denying any of that at all. My comment was intended to be humorous, as I found the post by jimmyjohn ironic itself.
Then again, we Germans are well known around the world for not having a great sense of humour
